Two Burger King restaurants in the West Midlands have closed as part of a deal to acquire dozens of the chain's outlets out of administration.

In April, administrators from AlixPartners were appointed to Millcliffe and CPL Foods, two companies which ran 36 Burger King venues as franchises across the UK, including seven in the West Midlands region.

AlixPartners has now struck a rescue deal with Powerbanks, part of the Karali group of companies and the largest Burger King franchisee in the UK.

The sale comprises 34 sites and all 575 members of staff related to the venues will transfer to the new owners.
